I think people playing Radio 3 with VLC and ffmpeg constitute such a tiny fraction of listeners as to be irrelevant. Sadly the same probably goes for LMS these days, I suspect there aren't enough of us to make an impact. And none of the other hardware internet radio suppliers got their act together in time, which sadly isn't a surprise. What matters is people playing with web browsers, and much more importantly iPlayer Radio app on various platforms. But I believe iPlayer Radio doesn't support Dash Flac, so this is a very early trial of the infrastructure in a situation where they know they're not going to be swamped with more listeners than they can cope with. But that raises the question of how they can possibly judge the appeal of lossless Radio 3 with such a small subset of the listeners. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
